This deck is what you would see at the Rubio's restaurant when you walk in.

Just a few thing to offer for buy sell and trade. If anyone remembers the truck back then the Axels bent easily but I have afue leftovers. Also one tracker 1970's mid truck hanger used in excellent condition for its age. The gullwing stuff is all from all different years and are all in new condition.
Thanks

1967(I think) Brewer Skateboard [All fiberglass]
ACS 650 or 500 trucks (not sure which, they say brewer on them)
Current wheels: 3dm cambrias
Old wheels: Dick Brewer wheels

I was down in Venice Beach skating on my new GFH pug when I saw some middle aged homeless man walking around with this board hanging by the trucks on a metal ring that was attatched to his backpack. After eying it for a while, he noticed I was interested and asked if I wanted to ride it. I took advantage of the oppurtunity and rode it around. It was like nothing i'd ever ridden. the turning radius was unbelievable and the wheels were like nothing i'd ever seen. they were only about 54 mm in diameter, but about 65 mm wide.
He told me that the reason he had the board with him was because he was trying to sell it. Apparently he had sold it before to some local throught the internet, but had never received payment, so he took it got it back from the kid (somehow) and was trying again. Initially it had sold for 475 dollars on ebay, but he saw how stoked I was and just asked for 150. I didn't have that much with me, so he lowered it to 75 plus a gallon of rice milk. I had no way to get the milk, but I called my dad and he came down to the beach with some cash for me to borrow.
I paid the man, shook his hand, and skated off.
I sold the GFH two months later and have been skating the brewer ever since. in the first two days of riding the board down in santa monica, I one of the hubs in one of the wheels when riding over a crack. I would love to find some wheels that are a little more true to the shape of the origionals than the cambrias to get a more old school feel, but i'm fine for now. They would need to be able to hold modern bearings because I get to nervous riding looseballs.
Stoked!

The Brewer is from the 70's. The deck and trucks are screaming 70's Dick Brewer is a well known surf board sharper and surfer.

Lookit that old fiberglas board! I love it, I love the bolts sticking out of the skid plate and I even love the updated wheels.

I feel like I post this picture way too much. I just can't help myself
It's a cool picture, though! What a collection! I like how these rare boards are obviously skated, bear modern decals (Pressure Drop) and one has rare white Bennett 5.0's on it. There's a lot in that photo!

The wheels are the O.G. although I ran O.J.'s as well back in the day. The only thing changed was the bearings and bushings as the kids wanted to try it out. Anybody in New Jersey that can tell me what happened to Webers Wave Skatepark ? I have a picture of myself somewhere skating at that park, I can't see the name for the skatepark in Houston that I skated, all I can see is "Go For it" on the sticker. Good Memories !

Thumbs up Re: Vintage Old School page 50's and up

Those C-65's look like the soft-blue ones with the black core? Great wheels and I'd agree they're OG early-80's, since that's when they were made. They were even softer than the amazing, earth-changing reds, and a signal that the halcyon days at Krypto were over (even though they were killer wheels). They green and cloud over time. I just commented because they're an awesome upgrade to a much older board. Isn't the deck a 70's relic, though?

In 1984, right after I moved to San Diego, I walked into Sunset Surf (an old Skateboard mag advertiser) eager to see whether their shelves were as stocked as the old ads and in desperate need of some red C-70's to replace the greens on what had become my only transportation other than borrowed cars. Red ruled. Red 70's ruled times ten for ripping around town. The shop, in Encinitas, was small and didn't have much. Reds? No way, but in the case I found a set of those blues you've got in and snatched 'em up. The gummy-blues were soft, fast and fun. Still have 'em, too.

I spy a familiar deck in that pic, soon to be joined by another from my collection. Doug certainly is acquiring a nice turner collection.

Both the board and the wheels were from 1977. I still have a 1/2 roll of grip tape as well from back then As for the wheels, they do not have a core, the bearing area is molded in the wheel.

So, I'm just seeing the wheel wrong and those are original Blues? I don't mind being wrong, at all, and I want to see those things pulled off the board and nicely photoed. Not many people on the 'fish have seen the molded-in washers of yore.
